Paykston.
The sky was gloomy.
Seven silver Rolls-Royce wedding cars entered the Watson family estate.
"Natalie, please marry Oliver from the Windsor family on my behalf. Adrian and I will bless you!"
Natalie looked at her step-sister Hailey's seemingly innocent and stunning face, her heart aching.
This woman had stolen her boyfriend Adrian and now used her little brother as a threat to make her marry her own fiancé!
Windsor family Oliver...
There were rumors that Oliver from the Windsor family was ugly, sick, and had a peculiar temperament.
"You promised that if I marry into their family, they will continue to provide treatment for Lucas," Natalie said, not wanting to see Hailey's disgusting face, but her brother was her most important concern.
Lucas was Natalie's biological younger brother. Half a year ago, he was diagnosed with leukemia, and the expensive cost of chemotherapy was not something Natalie, who was still in college, could afford.
If Natalie did not marry into the Windsor family as a substitute for Hailey, Lucas would soon be nothing but a lifeless body.
"I know!" Hailey impatiently pushed Natalie. The thought of the beautiful Natalie having to deal with an ugly creature like that excited her.
"Our Watson family doesn't lack money. Stop stalling, the wedding cars are waiting. If you offend the Windsor family, don't blame us for being rude to Lucas."
Natalie glanced at the Watson family mansion one last time, disappointment and mockery filling her beautiful deer-like eyes.
Ten years ago, she would have never agreed to bring Lucas back here.
This was not their home.
Natalie's heart sank as she lifted the hem of her wedding dress and stepped onto the wedding car.
...
The church where the wedding was held was Paykston's most famous wedding church, and today it was exclusively booked by the Windsor family, yet there were very few people present.
Natalie got off the car and saw a few dozen people in the distance staring at her with probing or mocking eyes, more so with unabashed contempt.
They looked at her as if she were an object, a joke.
Because the man she was marrying today, Oliver, although from the prestigious Windsor family, all the daughters of noble families in the city fear to marry.
"Excuse me, where is Oli... Oliver?" Natalie looked around but couldn't find any trace of the groom.
"Oliver is sick and can’t meet anyone," Charles, who escorted her to the church, replied expressionlessly, devoid of any emotions like a machine.
"So, the wedding..."
"The bride will go through it alone."
Go through the wedding alone...
Was the Windsor family intentionally humiliating her?
An unfamiliar place, unfamiliar crowd, various unkind gazes, the embarrassment of handling the wedding alone...
Everything rushed towards Natalie like a ferocious flood.
She desperately wanted to escape, but she had no choice.
For the sake of her younger brother, Natalie gathered her courage and walked towards the priest at the end of the red carpet.
Meanwhile, at All Night Manor.
In the top SVIP private room, three exceptionally handsome men sat in different corners.
Unlike the chaotic music and noise outside the bar, the music in this spacious 300-square-meter room was performed live by a band. One wall was covered by a huge, curved silver screen, on which the Windsor Family wedding was currently being displayed.
"Brother, your new wife is on the screen, why don't you take a look? She has long legs, a tiny waist, and perfect upper body proportion. I bet she will be amazing in bed!"
The man dressed in black and white had such handsome features that he captivates many people’s attention. He was surrounded by three beautiful women, one on his left and one on his right, but their seductive red lips were no match for the sexiness of his deep red lips.
"For you?"
Oliver was sitting alone on the spacious three-seater sofa, his gaze cold and emotionless.
In the mottled light and shadow, his handsome and sharp features were revealed.
Oliver had sensual thin lips, a high straight nose, and eyes resembling peach blossoms and phoenixes, portraying a half-cold, half-wild demeanor. One could say that his face was a masterpiece carved by God, capable of driving any woman insane.
As he gazed at the delicate wine glass in his hand, his movements were graceful and noble, akin to that of an emperor.
"No need to be nervous!" Isaac hastily waved his hand, after all, he was Oliver's brother-in-law.
Oliver lit a cigar and caught a glimpse of the screen out of the corner of his eye. The bride was facing the priest, her figure slim and alluring, radiating an indescribable beauty while wearing the floral wedding gown designed by Master Milan. Her tall and well-proportioned physique, slender and fair arms exposed in the air, and her perfectly elongated neck all left a lasting impression.
Her mere presence was enough to pique the interest of most men.
"Turn it off!" Oliver, however, did not belong to the majority. "It's distracting."
"Why do you care about marrying her?" Isaac obediently turned off the screen as he enjoyed a mouthful of grapes delivered to him by a beautiful woman, bewildered by the question.
"Setting aside the fact that she is the illegitimate daughter of the Watson family, she is also your dumb nephew Adrian's ex-girlfriend, a woman he discarded like a toy. In the future, you won't be able to escape the mockery of those Windsor family clowns," Oliver sneered.
Oliver was the third son of the Windsor family, born to the legitimate wife. He was supposed to hold power within the Windsor family and possess the enormous Windsor Group business empire. However, rumors of his attempted murder ten years ago and his present state of frailty and illness almost rendered him powerless.
But Oliver scorned these circumstances; he had a more powerful hidden force.
After being attacked at the age of fifteen, Oliver began to cultivate his own power. In just a decade, the RK Group rose to prominence, ranking among the top three multinational corporations globally. This was not to mention the influence he had in the dark and gray areas.
Rumors had it that someone had seen the mysterious CEO of the RK Group, an exceedingly handsome and dominant man whose identity remained unknown. No one would have thought that he was the outwardly weak, disfigured, and ugly Oliver from the Windsor family.
Isaac, on the other hand, oversaw the entertainment division of the RK Group, skillfully navigating through multiple temptations without getting caught in any.
"Just a vase," Oliver agreed to the marriage only to put his grandmother's mind at ease. He hadn't had a woman by his side for years, and his grandmother had forced one upon him.
The only thing that troubled him was that his grandmother wanted him to give her a grandson within a year! Otherwise, divorce was not an option!
Being a mere vase was acceptable, but having children was impossible!
Isaac gave a subtle look at the beautiful woman beside him and then glanced towards Oliver.
The woman stood up in excitement and swayed her body as she approached Oliver.Not knowing how to address this most handsome and imposing man, she coyly cupped her hand to her throat and said, "Hey handsome~"
"Get lost!"
The woman didn’t even get within a meter of Oliver when his cold and low voice made her recoil.
His imposing presence frightened her, causing her to fall to the ground, her legs giving way.
She thought that if she got closer to him, he would grab her by her throat and throw her out.
"Isaac, you have a bad memory, don't you think your brother is just like you? Going around with women all day not being afraid of getting sick," sneered the man in the gray shirt.
The man raised his head slightly, revealing his handsome and impeccable features in the light.
His charm was different from Oliver's cold and domineering style, different from Isaac's wildness, but rather had a serene and elegant presence.
"Wyatt, as an old virgin yourself, do you not allow your brother to lose his virginity?"
Isaac and Wyatt started to argue back and forth.
Oliver, used to their antics, ignored them.
After the wedding ceremony, Natalie was driving to Rosewood Estate in the wedding car. The Rosewood Estate was a castle-like mansion located on the most beautiful hill in Paykston. As they entered the estate, the guards saluted respectfully.Inside the estate, the castle-like buildings stretched on, with the main house and the annex clearly distinguished. Behind them, there was beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, as well as leisure facilities such as a golf course and a racecourse. There were also training grounds and shooting ranges.Upon arriving here, Natalie realized that compared to the Windsor family, or more specifically, Oliver, the Watson family was nothing more than a humble household."Madam, greetings!" Natalie got out the car, and in front of the main house stood about twenty men and women dressed in uniform. They all spoke in unison, and even the arc of their bows was the same."Madam, please come inside. I am the butler here, you can call me Uncle Liam," the elder
Oliver had encountered numerous individuals who used various techniques, ranging from captivating allure to cunning deceit. However, he had seen his fair share of those who pretended to be foolish and innocent.Such methods only served to make Oliver feel foolish and repulsed!"Woman, do you think you can capture my attention by pretending to be ignorant?" Oliver coldly taunted, a hint of a smirk playing at the corners of his lips.In an instant, Natalie's face turned mournful, and she apologized to the shadow behind the screen, "Oliver, it wasn't me. I didn't say those things!"And then she turned to the half-naked man standing beside her, with an embarrassed expression."Big brother, please don't harm me. I am married! My newlywed husband is weak and sickly, and he has an ugly appearance. I have no interest in you!""Hmph!" Oliver let out a short, cold laugh, his eyebrows and eyes filled with a cold and icy aura.With a kick of his long leg, he sent the priceless antique screen flyi
"Oliver, I haven't even opened this gift box. How could I possibly stuff, stuff this kind of thing in there? I really don't know anything!" Oliver stood up, his tall figure instantly enveloping Natalie, his powerful aura emanating.Natalie felt like he was a wolf king about to prey on her, and she was his powerless prey.Her heart trembled with fear, instinctively retreating, but the man held her chin."Natalie, you just want to get into my bed, don't you? Just say it.""I don't! I don't want anything to do with you! I wish you wouldn't touch me!" Natalie replied angrily.Oliver's face instantly turned grim, his voice cold as ice shards. "Say it again."Even if he didn't like Natalie, she was his wife. Her words clearly showed her disdain and insult towards him!"I didn't prepare this thing! I don't want to get into your bed!" Natalie stared at him, repeating her words. Before she could finish speaking, Natalie was forcefully thrown against the bookshelf, her back pressed against th
"You..."Natalie hung up the phone, gritting her teeth and thinking: what kind of expression would Hailey have when she found out how handsome Oliver was?It would be quite a spectacle!However, Natalie had already witnessed how eccentric Oliver's temper could be.She didn't know why Oliver agreed to marry her, but he didn’t like her. She should avoid provoking her "husband" as much as possible in the future.It would be best if he grew tired of her soon and divorced her!That night, Natalie received a call from her agent Sienna, asking her to come to the company tomorrow as there was work for her.This was the first time her agent had actively contacted her about work in the past six months."Oliver, I told you last night that I am a model. They want me at the agency tomorrow. Can I go?"When Natalie found Oliver, he was sitting lazily on the couch, reading a financial magazine with an air of luxury."I promise not to disclose any information about you. Really!" Natalie was afraid th
Did she just pour hot coffee on herself?Natalie was puzzled by why she would do such a thing when she heard a man's anxious growl from behind her, "Hailey!"A tall and handsome man rushed in, pushing Natalie aside and nervously holding Hailey in his arms. "Hailey, are you okay? Are you burned? Does it hurt?"As Natalie was pushed, she hit the edge of the table with her lower back, causing a painful sensation to radiate through her body.But the physical pain was nothing compared to the stabbing pain in her heart, as if it had been ruthlessly torn apart.Natalie looked at the familiar man in front of her, and the intense and unbearable scene from half a month ago flashed through her mind.One was her half-sister, the other was the boyfriend who claimed to love her forever.She had witnessed Hailey and Adrian together, and it had unexpectedly become the reason for her to marry Oliver as a substitute for Hailey because Adrian needed to take responsibility for Hailey."Adrian, it hurts
"I'm not interested," Oliver said, without even lifting his eyelids as he looked at the documents in front of him."Brother, there are some really hot women this time, I've seen their photos. There's one called Natalie, she's ridiculously beautiful! A mix of enchantment and innocence, her looks can easily make it into the top three of the Paykston Beauty Rankings. I bet there will be countless men wanting to sleep with her tonight!" Isaac tried his best to persuade him.Isaac only knew that Oliver was married, but he didn't know that his sister-in-law's name was Natalie.Oliver's hand paused as he was about to sign, and a coldness flashed in his emotionless eyes.What Natalie?Natalie was a model, and tonight she had a late-night show. It was quite a coincidence!After half a second, Oliver raised his head, his voice as cold as ice, "Okay, let's go take a look."...The T-stage at the night show was filled with blue lights, creating an extremely decadent atmosphere throughout the venu
Lan looked at her in surprise.Oliver Windsor!How did he end up here?Had he already noticed her?!"Sir, you see, there's a woman who stole our boss's diamond. We saw her running into your private room, and we were trying to catch the thief," the bodyguard said, trying to please."Oliver, they're lying!" Natalie grasped Oliver's trousers, quietly pleading, "I didn't steal anything, they were trying to force me!"Although he didn't like her, she was still his wife after all. He couldn't just let other men touch her, right?Oliver took a drag of his cigarette and continued to look at her indifferently.The woman at his feet tilted her head up, her fluttering eyelashes resembling a butterfly about to have its wings clipped. Her eyes reddened with desperation, yet she dared not make any other movements, putting all her hopes in him.Oliver suddenly wondered what she would do if he didn't help her."Fine, I'll find them."Natalie widened her eyes in shock. Oliver, he was so ruthless!The
The woman's voice was sticky and sweet, laced with a hint of milkiness and coyness. Oliver's heart trembled uncontrollably upon hearing it. In the next second, he heard the woman continue speaking:"You bastard...you big bastard..."Oliver's face instantly darkened, and he turned around expressionlessly and headed upstairs, his back radiating an overwhelming sense of indifference."Butler, what about Lady..." the bewildered servant pointed towards Natalie, who was still sound asleep on the sofa."Don't worry about her."Wait for him? He slept on the sofa and she's still cursing him in her dreams! He wondered if she had something important to say, or if she was just coming up with another scheme.Oliver remembered her behavior at All Night Manor, her so-called job, and his own bodily reactions, and a nameless anger surged up within him.Oliver said not to bother, and the servants didn't dare to, allowing Natalie to sleep on the couch for the night.However, she didn't sleep soundly.Na
